lmsrna' i' DIE-VICE.

Be it knownthat I, SoLoMoN- SACHS, a

citizen of the United States, residing 'i'n'the city of Washingtomsinthe District of Columbia, have 'inventeda new anduseful Dis playDevice," of which the following; is a specification.

This invention relates as novel form a.

' display. device, and more particularly to a displayfl'deviceespecially: designed for .supporting. forms employed in displayingdresses, suits or the like."

The primary object of the invention is to provide a device of thischaracter which 1 5 will be continuously t rotated, whereby thebackaswell'as the front and sides of the garment may be viewed by aperson standing in a position to look into'the display window.

A furtherib'ut important object of the' Vin- 've'ntionis to'providea'devic'e-which will be" adjustablewithin the window to p erinit thewindow was dressed with facility, the ad:

justable feature permittin'g the "forms sup;

4. ported by'the device tobemo'ved with're sp'ect to each other, to

. ary the'positionsof theform's within the window. I I

A further obj ect of the invention is topro vide means for;supportingtheforms to insure the forms being supported in upright positions atmums, and eliminating-any possibility of the forms falling from theirstands or supports.

With the foregoing and otherpbjects'in 'view which will appear asthe-description present invention, one of the supports or tables shownas removed from its base.

Fi 2 is an enlarged detail view of an adjusta le base showing the mannerof supporting the same.

- Fig. 3 is asectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2; and

g 4 1s a through the shaft housings.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the

invention includes a plurality of supports transverse sectional viewSpecification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept, 20, 1921. nb iu atidrrmdA rueo, 1921. Serial 1%. 462,966. I

5 which may be formed of any suitableinaterial and formed in lengths tomeet the requirement of usage, thelengths of the supports 5 beingdetermined by the length of the window 1n "which the device'is to'be positio'ned. In each support 5 are the openings '6 disposed adjacent tothe ends thereof, and designed 1 to accommodate securingscrews, wherebythe supports may be secured within a window.

Disposed ad ace'nt to one end 'o'f each of the supports 5 is a shaftsupport 7 which 7 also has openings formed adjacent to its ends 'toaccommodate securing screws, the support-7v being also provided withbearings 8 and 9 respectively in which the shaft 10 operates, one'endofthe shaft 10 being shown as extending beyond the bearing 8 where thesame is supplied with a gear 11 meshing with the worm 12 formed on oneend of the shaft which supports the 1 0m,

of'the'motor 14. i 1 v Supportedon' the shaft 10 are the beveled pinions15 which are adjustable throughout the length of the shaft 10, thepinions being secured in' their-positions of adjustment by means ofthe'set screws 16, which pass 1 through openings in thehubs of the pinions15."'-=- Each of the a bearing l7-secured to the upper surfacethereof-at points near their ends, the bearings 17 accommodating theends ofthe shaft 18 associated therewith. At:- the end J adj a cent tothe fshaft10 of'eaichish'aft 18 is'a beveled pinion l9- that meshes witha pinion v supports '5 is provided with:

15, whereby movement ofv the shaft 10 is imparted to the shafts 18.Mounted on the supports 5 are the plates 20, each of'which is providedwith upwardly extending ears 21 which provide supportsfor the rollers 22that have portions of their peripheries I operating in a plane above theears 21 where the same contact with the turn-table 23 associatedtherewith.

Associated with each plate 20 is an ad- Y justable bearing 24 which isprovided with an opening to accommodate the shaft 18,

the bearing being provided with openings to accommodate screws 25 whichscrews are of lengths to extend through the bearing and positionthemselves in the material of the support. From the foregoing it will beseen that due to this construction, the bearings 24 may be adjustedthroughout the lengths of the shafts 18, so that the-figure or formssupported thereby, maybe moved to various positions.

A Vpintle 26 forms a-part'of each bearing 24 and extends upwardlytherefrom, the pintle 26 being accommodated by the'openingsformedcentrally of the turn-tables 23 v to :hold the turn-tables againstmovement longitudinally or transversely of the shafts on which'they aresupported and insure the turn-tables operating in true horizontalplanesQg .y

Associated With'each turn-table'is a' friction gear'26' adjustablysupported on its shaft to permit the gear to be moved;longi-- tudinallyof the'shaft when the bearin'gs24. are adjusted, there being provided asuitable securing means passing through the gear 26"t0 secure the samein its positions of adjustment. 20

A shaft housing 27 is made up of a plurality of sections, the sectionsbeing of various lengths to permit the same 1 to be positionedover theshafts 18 when the .plates 20 and tables supported thereby are adjustedalong the shafts, it being obvious that dueto theshape'of the housing27, thesame may be positioned directly over a shaft/j 'Inthe useiof thejdevi'ce, a number of the shafts -18 are vpositioned withina displaiywindow, and the shaft sup'porteda' jacent to one end of each shaft 18,the pin ions being adjusted to" mesh with the.

pinions .19 of the shafts 18. 1

'Theplates are now adjusted to thef required positions along the shafts"18, whereupon the forms are placed. on the ta-- A bles 23. Rotarymovement is now transmit- '-ted to shaft 1O through the medium of the ifit is desiredto move'the supportsfi toward I motor 14 which in turntransmits motion t the shafts '18 and to the tables 23. I

From the foregoing itwill be obvious that:

x or away from each other to varyvthe loca-' tions of the-formssupported thereon, the v pinions may be adjusted-along thejshaft 10 j tomesh with the pinions 19 of the shafts 18.

If it is desired to vary the locations of the plates 20, and theirturn-tables, it will be seen that the same be'ireadily shifted to anyosition along the shaft associated therewit 7 V s 1 V or It might befurther stated that owing to the adjustability of the frictiong'ears126/ :1

along the shafts 18,; the gears 26 may be moved independently Ofeachother so that surface thereof thereby causing a number of tables 23. tobe operated at various speeds with respect to each other, the main shaft.5 5 g the same will contact with the underside'of: the tables 23 at anypoint along the under 18 on which the, gears 26 are supported,

being operated at a predeterminedspeed.

Having thus described the invention,what

is claimed as new is s 1. A. display device comprising a shaft, a

plurality of plates supported under "the shaft, means for securingadjustably the I plates to the shaft, each plate having upwardlyextending ears, rollers supported on the ears, a table supportedaboveeach plate and. meansffor imparting rotary movement,

of the shafts to the tables."

2. A display device comprisingia" Shaft,- plates-supported under-theshaft, abearing member supported on theshaft, means for securing thebearing inembersand plates together, a pintle carried by each, bearing!-member, a turntable mounted onbachpin-w tle, rollers carried by theplates, and adapted to contact with the turn-tables, and means,

for imparting rotarymovementto the shaft 7 and turn-tables. j 7
